    WRFL Div 1 Discussion 2026

    What's the criteria for Rookie, is it first season or under a set number of games/ age - or a combination of these?

    EDFL Premier Discussion 2026

    Any truth to the rumour Deer Park put on a pasta night at training on Thursday for the Seniors (those players who actually turned up) but didn't extend an invite the U/16 or U/18 teams who trained immediately prior? Word on the street is the canteen is indeed glorious, and the smell of finely...

    WRFL Div 1 Discussion 2026

    Agree. On paper much better than 0-3. Big game for them this week, be hard if that becomes 0-4.... My tips round 4 CS by 56 WS by 46 Albion by 76 Newport by 2 Parkside by 10 YSE by 21

    WRFL Div 1 Discussion 2026

    Results have been hard to judge, but I wouldn't be surprised if Parkside run close to the top two of WD & CS. Chasing pack of YSE, Hoppers, Spotty and I'm throwing Albion in as a smokey, Sunshine big improvers - some really good kids coming on nicely. I just think Newport are a little off...

    EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

    I am not aware of any instance where the EDFL have provided exemptions/ discounts for move of home - irrespective of the distance. I am aware of several adults and kids who have asked but all have been declined. I am even aware of 1 kid who copped the double-whammy, 3 points for moving house...

    Agree. To highlight the injustice, based on current rules a young developing kid needs to play a minimum of 82 games to become a 1 point player (excluding finals games so could be much more) A local senior player could theoretically become a 1 point player in as little as 10 games (or VFL...

    EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

    This is the clause I've never really understood how it's applied for a kid as points are allocated when joining a club, and that starting allocation is only reduced by the seasons of service as far as I know. So for an adult who is already playing seniors this is pretty easy to check when...

    This aligns to my understanding also. As EDFL are even number grades, U16 is deemed the cutoff to achieve 40 game 1 point status - U18 games are not included in the 40 games total. If a player has not reached 40 games by end U16, they can never achieve home club status, and will start their...

    EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

    This is the first I have heard reference to Reserves games qualifying for a point reduction for a player eligible to play U18. Advice from the EDFL is that they view U18 as "underage" - so therefore the only Senior Firsts games qualify for a reduction - Reserves games don't count. Is this...

    Perhaps not his last game?... Player by the same name kicked 6 goals for the Bachar Houli Foundation's Senior Academy Team vs Western Jets on Tuesday morning (3 days after the WRFL U18 Grand Final...). Web address of the article which reports the match details on the Bachar Houli Foundation...

    EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

    I can actually visualise the waved hand motion as you perform this Jedi-Mind-Trick... "Nothing to see here... Move along" You're kidding yourself, or trying to kid others, if you believe lumping developing 17-19 year-olds with similar points to mature Senior, VFL or ex-AFL players has no...

    EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

    Ok - I'll play. I'll just need to ignore that the aim of the points system is equalisation of sides, and that kids don't normally significantly influence a senior game. Ok, done. I'll also ignore the fact that often clubs don't get the numbers for junior teams forcing a move of club, or that a...

    EDFL Premier Discussion 2025

    Any system which handicaps kids from transitioning to seniors is flawed in my opinion. I have noticed several young players getting a game here and there across a number of Senior Premier sides carrying 3 and 4 points - the same as an arriving VFL player or AFL player who's been around for a...
